There’s something about wrestling with words. Capturing a moment or an idea just so. Changing a point of view, or opening an illuminating insight that changes everything.

But the heart and breath of writing is story. How it captures you, suspends time, fills you with wonder, or breaks your heart. Everything is wrapped in plot and character, right up to the denouement (the final outcome of the story). Writers write, not to tell, but to discover (at least this writer does).
